The day started with rain. Finally some rain! This was a very dry summer and the garden suffered with it. Some of the plants might have been lost though I'll only be sure of that once the growing season starts again. It also needs a good pruning. I've been a lazy garden all summer and the garden looks terrible.

It's good to get rain at the end of the summer, isn't it? We've had some, but we still need more. Amazing how things do come back to life, though. Our artichokes looked dead last week, now they have big new green leaves!
